by Daniil Maximovich Rathaus (1868 - 1937)

O chyom mechtaesh` ty'?
Language: Russian (Русский) 
O chyom mechtaesh` ty'? Zadumchivo glubokij
Kuda-to vzor glyadit v tainstvennuyu dal`…
Tomit li serdce vnov` znakomaya pechal`?
Il` radost` v grud` volnoj naxly'nula shirokoj?

O chyom mechtaesh` ty'? Ditya, tvoi mechty'
Mne dorogi, kak dnya lazurnogo siyan`e,
Kak noch`yu temnoyu dalekix zvezd merczan`e,
Kak doroga mne zhizn`, kak doroga mne ty'!

O, moj zhelanny'j drug, i ya v dushe gluboko,
Revnivo beregu mechtanij svetly'x roj...
O chyom mechtaesh` ty'? Skazhi, i vmig s toboj
Na kry'l`yax chudny'x grez umchimsya my' daleko!
